Chicken Pizza (with whole wheat base)

Pizza Pizza... Nowadays everyone started loving pizza, especially kids!!!!

Most of the kids love pizza, even the fussy eaters.. However, most parents wouldn't want their kids to eat a normal pizza, so I planned to prepare with Whole wheat base.. Actually its good for kids... We don't want kids to eat junk food, but this Chicken whole wheat pizza gives all nutrients to kids & all...

Last week my kid saw Canadian pizza product notice & asked pizza for the whole day.. I don't want to take him out, so just planned to prepare homemade pizza with wheat base.. It is LOW IN CALORIES & taste delicious.. Then I top up with capsicum & marinated chicken pieces over it.. It came out well & my JINJU loved it... Iam sure kids will love this yummy cheeeeeesssssy pizza..!!!!

Whole Wheat PIZZA Base/ Pizza wheat dough

Whole Wheat Pizza Base is another healthy alternate to white base pizza dough... Actually I always prefer to wheat because it gives some happiness that atleast having some healthier one... Because MAIDA is unhealthy to our body, it will affects our intestine & causes many problems.. So I have tried with wheat base for pizza...

Already I tried Veg Pizza & posted earlier... Check it out!!!!

This time I baked the dough for nearly 15mins & later baked once again with topping.. It gives perfect crunchy at edges & soft at the center..

• Then add 1 cup of wheat flour & 1/4 cup of water, mix well & knead it to form a smooth dough....
